Item Description
A very fine and aesthetic, two-sided combination rib from the renowned Sweet Home Mine. The beautiful and beautifully placed, gemmy, rose-red, 8 mm on the diagonal, rhodo rhomb rests on a extremely dense covering of sharp, lustrous, metallic tetrahedrite crystals. The rich sprinkling of water-clear quartz needles and scattered golden pyrite or chalcopyrite crystals are super accents. The back is totally different, as it is nearly covered with quartz needles. The matrix is quartz. This excellent two-sided piece looks great without aid.
